Experienced Consumer Law Attorneys Advocating For Missouri Victims

According to the Federal Trade Commission, Americans lost around $10 billion to scams in 2023. That’s the highest figure ever reported to the FTC, despite having the same number of fraud reports – 2.6 million – reported in 2022. Thousands more people fall victim to such practices without even knowing it, causing the fraud to go unreported.

At Hall Ansley, P.C., we believe firmly in upholding the rights of consumers. That is why we have dedicated our practice to righting wrongdoing. Our experienced attorneys fight to ensure that businesses comply with every applicable state law and do not exploit consumers like you. If you think that you are the victim of fraud or other deceptive practices, our team of consumer law attorneys is ready to help you.

Using Federal Consumer Protection Laws To Get Justice

In the United States, you not only have the right to expect those with whom you do business to deal fairly and honestly with you, but you also have the right to demand it. Several laws protect your rights as a consumer at the federal level. The Federal Trade Commission Act, the Truth in Lending Act and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act are just a few of the consumer protection statutes enacted to protect consumers like you from deceptive, unfair and fraudulent business practices, whether they occur before or after the sale.

These laws provide protections, including:

  • Putting an end to unfair competition and deceptive practices.
  • Securing compensation for consumers harmed by unfair or deceptive business practices.
  • Holding lenders and finance professionals accountable for deceptive or unfair business practices.
  • Holding manufacturers accountable for deceptive or unfair business practices.

If you believe that you have been the victim of deceptive, unfair or fraudulent business practices, contact us today.

Missouri’s Consumer Laws: What To Know

We focus primarily on protecting consumer rights under Missouri law. Missouri consumer laws are designed to safeguard individuals from unfair and deceptive business practices. The primary law that regulates Missouri’s business marketplace is the Missouri Merchandising Practices Act (MMPA). This act – particularly its Consumer Protection Section – regulates various aspects such as false advertising, defective products and fraudulent transactions.

Under state law, you also have the right to file a consumer complaint with the Missouri attorney general. Another option is to file a civil claim or, in some cases, a class action lawsuit. If you are interested in either of these remedies, our consumer rights lawyers can represent you and guide you through the process.
